According to Automotive News, Suzuki will bring its next-generation Swift minicar to the US at the dawn of next decade. It'll be a version of the higher-performance Swift hatch like the ones sold in Europe. That car's about the size of the Mini, and will hopefully be the relative bruiser as was the GTi was back in the 1990s. We seem to remember Car and Driver voting it the best car for bicyclists, or something like that, in a manner both completely complimentary and entirely without irony. – Mike Spinelli
